In Ukraine, an explosion has damaged a key bridge connecting the Russian-occupied territory of Crimea to the Ukrainian mainland. Russia-backed officials say the damage to the Chongar bridge appeared to be caused by a long-range cruise missile of the kind supplied to Ukraine by the U.K. and France. Elsewhere, Russia’s military says it shot down three drones outside Moscow that appeared to be targeting military warehouses. At the Kremlin, Russian President Vladimir Putin said a counteroffensive launched by Ukraine earlier this month has largely stalled.

President Vladimir Putin: “As I’ve already said, as is well known, the Ukrainian Armed Forces started the counteroffensive on June 4th using their strategic reserves. Oddly enough, currently we’re seeing a certain lull. It has to do with the fact that the enemy is suffering serious losses.”
